Who's Got the Best Family Crest?

 

Last week we challenged participants to create original family crests and to turn those into fabric designs. While you probably don't share a surname with any of the top ten designers, you still have a chance to buy their fabric, or at least to admire their creativity! This week's winner is "BZB Crest" by Bethany Berndt Shackelford, a terrific LA-based designer who grew up in Kansas.
